A native of Detroit City, NIECIE relocated to Nashville, and the local graphic aesthetic has little to do with the European guns in force (except at some roadside stops in East Flanders). For her fifth effort, this vocalist (who was initiated to the blues by nothing less than Magic Slim in person) turns out to be crammed with ex-Allman brothers Johnny Neel and former Outlaws Chris Anderson. In other words, the kind of stew that presides over the destiny of the Southern Rhythm n 'blues for a good half-century, and in this case, good blood can not lie. Between blue eyed funk (the titular beach, or the aptly named "Thank God For Fools", "Memphis Stomp", "Sweat" and "Rise Up") and moist blues soul (the stunning "Waiting For The Shoe To Drop" ), the pair Neel / Doug Jones without blinking a few pearls like this "Baby It's Working", which sounds like Delaney Bonnie jamming with the Stones of "Sticky Fingers" (which then shared the same section of brass and the same choristers). Bobbie Gentry's soul country, Eddie Hinton and Tony Joe White speak happily about "Lighter Shade Of Blue" (with the distinctive Chris Anderson slide, and Melissa Alesi's backing vocals) and "Just This Side Of Memphis "(with Doug Jones' six-stringed strings). As a benevolent producer, the great Johnny Neel seasoned each beach with the keyboards he used in their time Allmans and Gov't Mule. A singer of temperament, backed by a dream-team envied by many of her rivals: the recipe for an album more than endearing.
